DeMarco Murray (102 total yards, three touchdowns) was clutch in Dallas’ 31-24 win over Oakland. Now the Cowboys – 5-1 at home, 2-4 on the road – need to go to Chicago and take care of business. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

14. Baltimore Ravens (6-6)

The good? The Ravens broke the 20-point barrier in a non-overtime game for the first time since Week 5. The bad? They settled for five field goals and were held out of the end zone after the 9:18 mark of the first quarter. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
